Biohazard lunch bag

My brother just got a job as an emergency room nurse. He’ll be needing a lunch bag. I thought putting a biohazard symbol on it would help him fit in and also discourage people from liberating his sandwiches 🙂

This bag requires yellow and black 8ply wool and a 2.5 mm hook. The finished bag is about 25 cm tall. The pattern is written in American crochet notation.

The bag is made in four pieces. First the flap, back, bottom and front as one piece. Then the two sides. Then the handle.

I can’t upload big photos to this website so the biohazard symbol pattern is a bit hard to read. However I’ve uploaded a much bigger and clearer photo onto Ravelry.
